English Sterling Silver Georgian 1760 Cup from Former Gov. of NY Stock Exchange
Located in New York, NY

According to his 1971 obituary from the New York Times, "W.

His studies at Harvard were interrupted by Navy service in World War I as a submarine chaser commander. He returned to active duty as a lieutenant commander in World War II.
Mr. Flagg succeeded his father, Washington A. Flagg, as a partner in the brokerage firm of Post & Flagg and continued as a partner in Harris, Upham & Co. after their merger. He was a past president of the Piping Rock Club in Locust Valley...

Small Antique Edo Period Japanese Porcelain Teapot Imari Red Gold Panels
Located in Amsterdam, Noord Holland
Small teapot, square, rounded body on flat unglazed base. Curved handle and a short straight spout. Small upright mouthrim, flat lid with round knob. Imari decorated in iron-red and gold on the sides with flowering plants and grasses and two deeply recessed kidney-shaped panels with modelled decorations in high relief. One panel with a cock, chicken and two eggs on the other a bird perched on a branch of a prunus tree. Round the base of the spout an upturned pointed leaves pattern border. On the handle a floret between scrolls. On the cover round the base of the knob a leaves pattern border in low relief.
In category 36 'Coloured Imari with no underglaze blue, iron-red and gold only' of his Japanese export porcelain, Impey states that the implication of this singular restriction of palette, without the use of underglaze blue, is that these may be the product of a single enamelling workshop, but may or may not be the product of a single kiln. The restriction is probably one of choice, for it would hardly be cheaper, if at all, to use a wider range of enamels, and no cheaper to use underglaze blue.
Bottles, vases, teapots and other objects with similar recessed panels that form a kind of window through to a deeper picture layer were only produced for a short period. This was probably because they were too time-consuming to make and therefore expensive. This type of decoration is only found on Japanese pieces; Chinese imitations are still unknown.
Japanese Imari objects decorated in a low relief are rare. In 'Fine & Curious' a bottle cat...

Chinese Export Blue & White Porcelain Shaped Dish with Buffalo and Deer
Located in Downingtown, PA
Chinese Export Blue & White Porcelain Dish with Buffalo and Deer,
Circa 1770
The Chinese Export porcelain rococo oval dish has a wide diaper border with shaped panels of flowers. The central well depicts a lovely scene with a water buffalo and its calf grazing with a deer on the other side of a zig-zag fence. Perched in a tree is a large crane and a small bird flies above.
It also features a Plum tree, Bamboo and a Pine tree, the three friends of winter. The Three Friends of Winter is an art motif that comprises the pine, bamboo, and plum. The Chinese celebrated the pine (松), bamboo (竹) and Chinese flowering plum (梅) together, for they observed that unlike many other plants these plants do not wither as the cold days deepen into the winter season. Together they symbolize steadfastness, perseverance, and resilience. While They are highly regarded in Confucianism as representing its scholar-gentleman ideal.
Dimensions: 15 inches wide x 12 inches deep x 1 1/2 inches high
Reference:
In Chinese art and culture, the water buffalo symbolizes strength, endurance, hard work, prosperity, and a link to agriculture and rural life, often depicted as a mount for important figures or in scenes of everyday life.
Here's a more detailed look at the symbolism:
Agriculture and Rural Life:
The water buffalo is deeply ingrained in Chinese agricultural traditions, as it was and continues to be a vital part of rice farming and the rural economy.
Strength and Endurance:
The buffalo's physical capabilities, particularly its strength and ability to work tirelessly, make it a symbol of these qualities.
Benevolence and Patience:
The water buffalo is also associated with benevolence and patience, reflecting the calm and steady nature of the animal.
Guardian:
The buffalo was seen as a guardian, stemming from the legend of Emperor Yu casting an iron ox to subdue floods.
Mount for Important Figures:
Water buffalo are often depicted as mounts for figures like Shou Lao, the God of Longevity, and in Daoist art...
